NAC Breda technical director Graeme Rutjes is confident of re-signing Chelsea striker Stipe Perica.

The teen impressed last season on-loan at NAC.

Rutjes expects to be cleared to re-sign Perica once Chelsea are back at full-strength in preseason with the return of their World Cup players.

"It's something we're working on," said Rutjes.

"But we are, and remain dependent on Chelsea. And so we need to look around, of course."
